Exercise 4.3 of Chapter 4 in RD Sharma's Class 8 Mathematics textbook builds upon the foundational knowledge of cubes and cube roots established in previous exercises. This section focuses on more advanced applications and problem-solving techniques involving cube roots. Students will engage with a variety of questions that require them to apply their understanding of cube roots to real-world scenarios, work with larger numbers, and solve multi-step problems. The exercise aims to deepen students' comprehension of the relationships between cubes and cube roots, enhance their computational skills, and develop their ability to approach complex mathematical situations with confidence and precision.
**Question 1: Find the cube roots of the following numbers by successive subtraction of numbers: 1, 7, 19, 37, 61, 91, 127, 169, 217, 271, 331, 397, …
(i) 64
(ii) 512
(iii) 1728
**Solution:
****(i)** **64
Performing successive subtraction:
64 – 1 = 63
63 – 7 = 56
56 – 19 =37
37 – 37 = 0
Since subtraction is performed 4 times.
Therefore, the cube root of 64 is 4.
****(ii)** **512
Performing successive subtraction:
512 – 1 = 511
511 – 7 = 504
504 – 19 = 485
485 – 37 = 448
448 – 61 = 387
387 – 91 = 296
296 – 127 = 169
169 – 169 = 0
Since subtraction is performed 8 times.
Therefore, the cube root of 512 is 8.
****(iii)** **1728
Performing successive subtraction:
1728 – 1 = 1727
1727 – 7 = 1720
1720 – 19 = 1701
1701 – 37 = 1664
1664 – 91 = 1512
1512 – 127 = 1385
1385 – 169 = 1216
1216 – 217 = 999
999 – 271 = 728
728 – 331 = 397
397 – 397 = 0
Since subtraction is performed 12 times.
Therefore, the cube root of 1728 is 12.
**Question 2: Using the method of successive subtraction examine whether the following numbers are perfect cubes:
(i) 130
(ii) 345
(iii) 792
(iv) 1331
**Solution:
****(i)** **130
Performing successive subtraction:
130 – 1 = 129
129 – 7 = 122
122 – 19 = 103
103 – 37 = 66
66 – 61 = 5
Since the next number to be subtracted is 91, which is greater than 5
Therefore,130 is not a perfect cube.
****(ii)** **345
Performing successive subtraction:
345 – 1 = 344
344 – 7 = 337
337 – 19 = 318
318 – 37 = 281
281 – 61 = 220
220 – 91 = 129
129 – 127 = 2
Since the next number to be subtracted is 169, which is greater than 2
Therefore, 345 is not a perfect cube
****(iii) 792**
Performing successive subtraction:
792 – 1 = 791
791 – 7 = 784
784 – 19 = 765
765 – 37 = 728
728 – 61 = 667
667 – 91 = 576
576 – 127 = 449
449 – 169 = 280
280 – 217 = 63
Since the next number to be subtracted is 271, which is greater than 63
Therefore, 792 is not a perfect cube
****(iv)** **1331
Performing successive subtraction:
1331 – 1 = 1330
1330 – 7 = 1323
1323 – 19 = 1304
1304 – 37 = 1267
1267 – 61 = 1206
1206 – 91 = 1115
1115 – 127 = 988
988 – 169 = 819
819 – 217 = 602
602 – 271 = 331
331 – 331 = 0
Since subtraction is performed 11 times,
Therefore, Cube root of 1331 is 11
Hence, 1331 is a perfect cube.
**Question 3: Find the smallest number that must be subtracted from those of the numbers in question 2 which are not perfect cubes, to make them perfect cubes. What are the corresponding cube roots?
**Solution:
In the previous question, there are three numbers that are not perfect cubes.
****(i)** **130
Performing successive subtraction:
130 – 1 = 129
129 – 7 = 122
122 – 19 = 103
103 – 37 = 66
66 – 61 = 5
The next number which is to be subtracted is 91, which is greater than 5
Since, 130 is not a perfect cube.
Therefore, to make it a perfect cube we have to subtract 5.
130 – 5 = 125
125 is a perfect cube of 5.
****(ii)** **345
Performing successive subtraction:
345 – 1 = 344
344 – 7 = 337
337 – 19 = 318
318 – 37 = 281
281 – 61 = 220
220 – 91 = 129
129 – 127 = 2
The next number which is to be subtracted is 169, which is greater than 2
Since, 345 is not a perfect cube.
Therefore, to make it a perfect cube we have to subtract 2.
345 – 2 = 343
343 is a perfect cube of 7.

449 – 169 = 280
280 – 217 = 63
The next number which is to be subtracted is 271, which is greater than 63
Since, 792 is not a perfect cube.
Therefore, to make it a perfect cube we have to subtract 63.
792 – 63 = 729
729 is a perfect cube of 9.

By forming groups in triplet of equal factors we get, 3600 = (2 × 2 × 2) × (3 × 3) × (5 × 5) × 2
Since, 2, 3 and 5 cannot form a triplet of equal factors.
Therefore, 3600 must be multiplied with 60 (2 × 2 × 3 × 5) to get a perfect cube.
3600 × 60 = 216000
Cube root of 216000 is

By forming groups in triplet of equal factors we get, 210125 = (5 × 5 × 5) × (41 × 41)
Since, 41 cannot form a triplet of equal factors.
Therefore, 210125 must be multiplied with 41 to get a perfect cube.
210125 × 41 = 8615125
Now, finding the cube root of 8615125
By using the prime factorization method, we get
8615125 = 5 × 5 × 5 × 41 × 41 × 41
Therefore, Cube root of product = ∛8615125 = ∛ (5 × 41) = 205

By forming groups in triplet of equal factors we get, 8192 = (2×2×2)×(2×2×2)×(2×2×2)×(2×2×2)×2
Since, 2 cannot form a triplet of equal factors.
Therefore, 8192 must be divided by 2 to get a perfect cube.
8192/2 = 4096
Now, finding the cube root of 4096
By using the prime factorization method, we get
4096 = 2×2×2×2×2×2×2×2×2×2×2×2 = 23×23×23×23
Therefore, Cube root of 4096 = ∛4096 = ∛ (23×23×23×23) = 2×2×2×2 = 16
**Question 8: Three numbers are in the ratio 1:2:3. The sum of their cubes is 98784. Find the numbers.
**Solution:
Given, ratio of number is 1:2:3
Therefore, Let the number be x, 2x and 3x
According to the question, sum of their cube is 98784
x3 + (2x)3+ (3x)3 = 98784
x3 + 8x3 + 27x3 = 98784
36x3 = 98784
x3 = 98784/36
x = 2744
x = ∛2744 = ∛ (2 × 2 × 2 × 7 × 7 × 7)
x = 2×7
x = 14
So, the respected numbers are,
x = 14
2x = 2 × 14 = 28
3x = 3 × 14 = 42
**Question 9: The volume of a cube is 9261000 m3. Find the side of the cube.
**Solution:
Given, the volume of cube = 9261000 m3
Let the side of the cube be ‘x’ meter
Therefore, x3 = 9261000
Taking cube root on both the side,
x = ∛9261000 = ∛ (2×2×2×3×3×3×5×5×5×7×7×7) = ∛ (23×33×53×73) = 2×3×5×7 = 210
Hence, the side of cube is 210 meter
